Mahindra Roxor ECU Flash and Dyno Test by VRTuned
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- The Mahindra Roxor is one unique vehicle with its Jeep CJ looks, steel frame, and 2.5L Turbo Diesel engine. Targeting a cross between UTV and Jeep enthusiasts for trails, farm work, or just all around fun, the Roxor unfortunately has a 45mph speed limit.
VR Tuned will do an ECU flash on this Bosch EDC17C55 ECU to squeeze more power and get rid of that pesky speed limiter. Check it out!

I have worked on their farm tractors since 2000 . Tough equipment and simple straight forward design. This should be no different.
@NPC 48732 there tractors are based on old IH tractors. If it weren't for the electrical issues, they would be great.
@NPC 48732 🤡
Mahindra built what jeep used to be, useful.
grumpybill a jeep jk or jl will out do that roxor in any and every category! All of them literally.
Random Adventures except simplicity.
And reasonable pricing
Now just how to get it street legal then I’m buying one
Matt Unknown Google it, totaly possible.
We enjoy our ROXOR. reaching 500 miles on her. No problems.
awesome!
Where do you take it? I think I might buy one.
Where are you located?
Vivid Racing Me? Pennsylvania. I’m between this, a YXZ, or a Can-Am.
@@fusiongaming8281 man honestly.. you'd have so more enjoyment if you bought a rzr. I say rzr, solo as to being a leader in power/tq/suspension for the cost. I've been told the rzr is slightly more reliable than the commander, and slightly cheaper on engine repairs. Just letting you know the word around the block way down in bum fuck arkansas my friend.
Mahindra very reliable imagine they perform so well on indian roads
They are a trusty platform 👍🏼 never let us down
They make tough vehicles which last longer
The funny thing is, this is EXACTLY what a lot of Jeep guys have been asking for. A cheap, stripped down Jeep that doesn't have a base sticker of $27,000... FCA instead moved in the opposite direction with the JL, making an even heavier, even softer, even more expensive Jeep..
I'm a JK owner and I love my 2-door JK, but I really, really want one of these. Only problem is I'm in California and I'd have to see proof of others in California getting them street legal before I'd pull the trigger. I know there's the CJ vin plate trick, but that's a legal grey area at best.
Facts, I wish Jeep would make a Sport with lockers and no creature comforts.
You can get anything registered street legal in Arizona lol maybe try that
whats good about these is they appear to be a jeep, so if you change the vin to a wrecked jeep in the same color the chances of being caught are very slim unless someone that really knew their shit could tell it was a mahindra
Where in CA are you? I split time between Tahoe (Truckee) & the Bay Area. The dealer in Reno has a few & I went & checked it out as a longtime Jeep owner. As a result, I will take a hard pass & it was very evident that this is a poor quality vehicle. Parts are flimsy & the steering wheel amd pedals are way too shoddy for a new vehicle. Can only imagine that this thing will be falling apart after a few thousand miles. Then try to get parts or service when they vanish from North America. I was really disappointed - will be getting a 2nd beater Jeep - probably a TJ.
@@krasnaludek298 Mahindra is not leaving the USA anytime soon, they have been selling tractors here for 25 years now. They sell more tractors worldwide than any other brand. Even if they did leave the USA market, these days you can order anything you need and have it shipped to you. I think these are a good option for light work around the farm or ranch, and then you can dick around on some trails with it to boot. They are adding PTO. It's a Jeep for all practical purposes too, not a big 4 wheeler. A top, lockers, and a windshield and wipers, and that diesel torque plus a real transmission (not that CVT rubber band shit) beats any UTV I can think of. As for street legality and use, sure if you live in BFE and want to run down to the neighbors or to the little store for a six pack; I don't think I would want to commute in this, but I wouldn't want to commute in an old Willys either.
this is almost the exact vehicle i have been want Jeep to build. A mini 2 seat, no frills wrangler about the size of the old CJ-2a or CJ-5. with a small turbo diesel and a 5 speed trans and 4wd, manual locking hubs and limited slip in the rear and a selectable locker in the front.
I think if the EU quits being stupid about agricultural imports, they could start getting eligible for US importation. A lot of states have really low standards for removable top vehicles so these might need a few thousand on top of their $13k price to be road legal. They won't crash them as needed until they can sell them under $20k road legal though.
I have a CJ7 and it’s the same size, just lower to the ground
yeah. it's not 'smaller'. Pretty much every jeep from the MB/GPW to the CJ5 are smaller than the Roxor. They're also much cheaper and can be legally driven on any road. If the old flathead motor is too anemic for you, V6 swaps for Buicks and 4.3 Vortecs are pretty cheap and easy to do. If you must have a turbo diesel in one, the Kubota swap is also well documented and is still cheaper than the Roxor.
The only part I'm interested in is whether the five speed tranny will drop into a CJ2A with a minimum of fuss.
For over $15,000 bucks plus!
Even after replacing the frame, axles and driveline that's likely needed on the equivalent older CJs it's still cheaper of course. Obviously the big market they're aiming at now is Polaris and similar side-by-sides which are ludicrously expensive and would be likely to see these used off-road as fleet vehicles though they certainly seem to be targeting the distinct possibility of the chicken tax ending and selling these road-legal as low-end SUVs.
I would rather have this Mahindra than a modern Jeep.
Rick Nethery it would be fun if its a street legal
Depending on your state. This can be street legal
Some states will require you to have a windshield with wiper, fortunately that’s a factory option. The rest are pretty easy work arounds to get it Street legal.
Hey I am from India owner of Mahendra showroom @ Nashik, it's Licenced vehicle, Mahendra tie-up Willey Jeep in 1960 For making Military vehicle for Indian army,now Wiley company Product r manufactured by giant Mahendra((Owner Of Ferrari Design Studio (Pininfarina),Ssangyang motor Korean automaker , Erkunt tractor,Peugeot Motor,))
I have much income XXXX$/Month still I use 1970 Mahendra Thar(Jeep) because only true people deserve this, Fake people go for carbon fiber vehicle
I’d love to see more done with this guy. Such an interesting vehicle that has lots of potential!
Will try!
It has no potential. As it will soon be illegal to sell this roxor . Chrysler Fiat have sued the company for infringement on Jeep's brand
not a chance
@@reaj2010 FCA lost the legal battle against Mahindra as it still has the original design rights from the Willy's. They're good as long as they don't use the name Jeep anymore.
@@riderpikachu7403 or the seven slot grill if I remember correctly.
Gonna be interesting after a year or two seeing the mods and power people are able to get out of these
the Mahindra Roxor sounds like a car from GTA
Mountain Man Fishing lol super funny
In Montana (and some other states) even ATVs can be "street legal". Both of my Kawasaki Brute Force 750s are licensed for street use. all that is required is a tail light/brake light, hi/lo beam headlights, a horn, and a license plate light. Turn signals are not required. I have seen a Roxor on the street downtown, with a temporary licnese plate on it!
Jon A. Poe same in AZ. I live outside Phx in a farming town, lots of SxS, atvs and dirtbikes on the road. Just can't get on the highway with them.
I was in Austria this past spring and the stuff they drive there is mind blowing. ATVs, UTVs. Basically just slap a license plate and some street friendly tires and you're good to go. I didn't see any of these Roxors. Truth be told I didn't even know about them. I did see a shit load of Unimogs. That alone made my trip worthwhile.
Is it legal in Texas?
I saw one in person today. Very interesting. Looks like it would just in alot of places real fast.
But very interesting.
Says made in USA all over the place.
Every jeep I have ever had has rusted real fast, CJ2b, CJ3, Wagoneer's, J10, J20, M715, CJ7. Id pin my hopes on this one b4 a new fiat one for sure.
I think one of the main reasons they limit speed, its the older Jeep design, which is really prone to rolling over, and limited speed and not street legal exempts them from all kinds of govt BS safety stuff, like no air bag etc.
G56AG Making it street legal in the US would make the vehicle more expensive. The same exact vehicle in India can top out around 75 mph but it becomes really hairy at that speed. The top variant with a smoother and more powerful 2.6L engine, Borg Warner transfer case, rear locking diffs, AC and front independent suspension hits almost 100 mph.
In India there is no speed limit on same vehicles
if it was road legal it would have to meet emissions and safety requirements abs braking, air bags, crash testing etc etc. but it would also be expected to fit for purpose a vehicle sold as street legal there would be reasonable expectations on its reliability and longevity.
Wach
It's more stable than Jeep. Speed limited as it is not for highway
I am 100% all for the mahindra roxor. I've been screwed by FCA more than once on the same jeep. I'm going to buy one of these just on principle. #failrated
Mahindra should sell the Roxor in a knock-down kit form. When registering a "kit" car, you get it titled to what it most closely resembles...in this case a CJ2a...no seat belts or emissions equipment required. Circumvent the FCA crapfest and the EPA nannies.
That would be too easy... Lol
Jeep in a crate. Just like WW2!
mahindra got bought a licence to produce jeep vehicles from willeys in the forties. long before Chrysler of fiat had anything to do with it. to be honest mahindra has a better platform to sue fiat then fiat has to sue mahindra.
william Dana they wouldn't sue each other, mahindra has no rights to the jeep name or franchise, it only had a license to make the car. It has no legal bounds to sue fiat, who bought the actual company, and now produces new vehicles under the jeep name. Mahindra just makes vehicles that look similar, but are they're own car. If you want to get really technical about it, Fiat could have a legal base to sue Mahindra, as they are producing cars that look suspiciously similar to the old cars they built under an expired license.
Mahindra, "NEVER" owned Jeep it was licensed to them! FCA owns Jeep plain & simple to all who think FCA doesn't own Jeep you got some serious denial issues?
Roxor is modern stable jeep
@@billypate2479 @ Mahindra Made these jeeps in India before jeep company exist.
@@billypate2479 you need to understand the Side×Side design is originalyy of Willy's whose design rights were bought by Mahindra in 1947. They've all the rights on this design. Mahindra has it's rights long before FCA or even Jeep itself. That's why Mahindra doesn't use the Jeep anymore but still has the Design rights.
FYI, FCA lost the legal battle to Mahindra against of producing these.
Subbed just for watching you build the Mahindra!
It's more of a jeep than the new jeeps!
Wait, I thought I heard these Roxors are being produced in Michigan and not in India, even though the company is Indian. Did I hear it wrong?
This thing is definitely worth buying for offroad bashing without much care.
Ghost Town Sentinel Mahindra is an Indian company but the roxor is assembled in Michigan
Imported and Assembled only..not made in ... it's made in India.
@@suryar7026 Ya... Mahindra's part Made in India (strong, durable)
i remember when they were imported into UK many moons ago with the WW2 willys stylie body, the build quality would make you think a two year old had nailed it together, it had a Peugeot diesel engine then.
Seeing this one first hand they are built well. Definitely not like you said.
Perfect for the tight trails and easier to fix!
This needs a PTO - like the old farm jeeps...with this tune and the PTO it'd be GREAT to have on the farm.
All the Roxor fans here ... If you ever get a chance to visit India.. then definitely go for a drive in the Mahindra Thar .. it's the bigger sibling of the Roxor with road legal accessories ... If you are a hardcore jeep CJ or Roxor fan.. you'll definitely love it
The wires coming threw the fire wall on pass side look close to the piping. Definitely a neat product.
With a 2.5l engine this thing could easilly double the torque and hp with more boost. 25psi would make this thing accelerate pretty quick considering it's weight. My 13 passat TDI only had a 2.0 and it was surprisingly quick for what it was. I could only imagine this with due to being lighter and having a bigger engine. I could see a nice rock crawler built out of this with more boost and the emissions crap removed!
You don't want to go fadt in these lol
@@sciencemilitia1853 definitely not 😆
this is exactly what people have been asking for and theres nothing wrong with a mahindra these things are reliable at a great price too rather get one of these than a side by side for sure
Now: EGR delete and an intercooler! EGR is poison for a diesel engine. And an intercooler adds free power. Lose the belt driven fan and add a couple of electric ones.
I'd like to see an air-to-water intercooler from Spearco, like VW uses on the latest TDIs. Nice and neat and compact. Needs a heater too. (And A/C. And......shit, just spend $40K and get a Rubicon. But what fun is that?)
Mickey Bitsko electric fans do not move enough air to cool a diesel under load and the power gain is marginal when you consider the alternator would be loaded constantly to keep the battery charged to run those electric fans
Drop a Kubota into a CJ2a or a OM617 turbo into a CJ3B. It's cheaper than the Roxor and legal to drive anywhere.
Intercooler adds free lag too
MrLes Berg check out some of the CJ VW TDI conversions.
I've seen them, but I haven't had the opportunity to talk to someone who has one to see how they perform. I know the Kubota and OM617 perform really well on the low end, both from the design intent of the motor and knowing people who have owned them. I don't want to steer someone into an engine swap if I don't know the end result may not be what they're looking for.
This thing could really make some serious power being a large 2.5l. My stocl VW was making 140hp and 230hp at the flywheel. I can imagine the power this 2.5 would make with 20-25psi of boost
20-25 psi is definitely enough to make her scoot!
Now it can out run that pesky T-Rex. Very interesting video, thanks
Thank you!
Just to make sure I heard you right ... you made it street legal ? Or did I hear that wrong. If you did ... 20k street legal diesel Jeep... I’m on board!
says who?
Vivid Racing I thought you said that in the video that you had a street legal kit . I guess I heard wrong ... watching again
You did say xtc street legal kit! You said this in video
Street legal kit where you can drive them on the HWY in the states allowed. For example in AZ, you can drive them on the street here as they get registered like motorcycles, but you will want turn signals and horns like this www.vividracing.com/xtc-motorsports-plug-play-turn-signal-system-mahinda-roxor-p-152423927.html
They are sketchy at best being legal. Only in some States with work around the laws registrations, some with restrictions.
It would be a great street "legal" vehicle to pull behind an RV though.
Let's add a Chevy 572 engine in her chassis and watch her rock and roll!
Actually this very 2.5 mil can be tuned to produce over 165bhp and 370NM. It's just not street legal hence factory fitted one has been detuned
It’s amazing what you can do with just a tune
It's made in Michigan not India
Epeater86 assembled in Michigan.
Epeater 86 these are not "built" in Michigan. they are "built" in india. then they are stripped down just enough to be called "truck parts". to beat the import tariff. Toyota did the same thing in the 70,s. i lived close to where they unloaded the ships in Long Beach CA. some ships would have nothing but truck beds on them,and others would have a cab only. they would then put the two together and they would have a "truck". it was all legal but not really a cool thing to do.
lilorbie lilorbie Toyota still does that, but now it's in Texas.
JeepJeep234 when Toyota was doing that in Long Beach. they removed a Mountain of dirt. i am not talking a big pile of dirt. it was a for real Mountain. not really sure where they hauled it off to , but they made a mole hill out of a Mountain.
lilorbie lilorbie, some beds were built in California & some were imported from Japan.
I wanna see this thing cranked up to like 100+ whp! Nice bump in power here I’d like to drive one like this.
I subscribed because I want to see how much horsepower you can crank out of it with supporting mods
The Roxor is made in Michigan, not India. Many of the parts are made in India however. While it’s based on the Thar, there are significant differences. Jeep trademarked it’s Jeep grill. As far as I know, the CJ body shape is neither patented, trademarked or copyrighted. I suspect FCA will not be able to successfully show it is being done harm by this vehicle. I think Mahindra will have a tougher time with the US government due to emissions compliance and safety standards due to the intent of many potential owners intending to operate them on public roads. Which by the way is a major point of this dyno test and tune. Mahindra specifically did not give this vehicle a VIN number nor turn signals to keep it in the side by side off-road category. I saw that this tune left a whole lot more performance on the table. They got the quarter mile into the 18’s and traps in the mid 70 mph range. That is as good or better than a stock CJ of just 45 years ago.
NO ONE...NOT ONE PERSON.....would buy a new Wrangler for off road UTV type use. They cost too damn much for that. The idea that Jeep is being harmed by this vehicle is preposterous.
Rob Evans
Actually a lot of people go off-roading in $30k+ brand new Jeeps. I see them on trails quite a bit. A lot of people prefer new wranglers for hunting use too.
That's not what I said (or at least meant.) If someone is looking for a side by side UTV, they are looking in a certain price range. NO NEW JEEP falls into that category. This vehicle offers Jeep ability with a low price tag to the UTV market. Let Jeep build a CJ2 reissue for $15k and they would be in the running too.
@@GratefulRob Roxor's are $20k+, only about $4k less than a stripped down base model 2 door Wrangler.
And the Jeep Renegade is about the same price. The trailhawk version is very capable and is street legal.
People who buy these toys don't really care about a few thousand dollars. And yes it will steal some Jeep sales from FCA. FCA is suing Mahindra because they don't want them to get a toe hold in the market with their Jeep clone. If the Roxor does well enough Mahindra might build a street legal version in the future that would more directly compete.
Base Wrangler Sport STARTS at $28,200 and the ROXOR Starts justvunder $15,500.
Again....totally different markets. Polaris has way more to worry about than FCA.
That's one of the vehicles with lot's of potential 😎👌👍
I love the simplicity, with a little more power, 75hp or so, it would be phenomenal
Deborah i have a mahindra with same 2.5 litre engine. That engine is capable of 120 bhp. My Mahindra MPV is sold with the same engine tuned at 120 bhp. So you can easily reprogram the ecu for engine to deliver more bhp and torque. These are called mules in india.. Mahindras are the go to vehicles when we talk himalayas.. driving at altitudes of over 18000 feet... they just dont stop and keep going.
Mahindra that 2020 is next generation mahindra thar or roxor in US.. It has more power and more electronics
You can probably get away with driving this just around town on most streets in America, I wouldn't take it on any road trips but I would definitely drive it to the store.
Arizona we can drive UTVs on the street as they are registered as motorcycles.
And if you live in a rural area where off road vehicles are very common. A large portion of local police don't care.
True!
"DANG!" "THAT'S ONE SECOND SLOWER THAN A 2013 DODGE DART IN A QUATER MILE!"
@Dirk Pitt I'm just happy there's a vehicle slower than my car. I don't feel so much like a looser.
Fun fact tractors lying around in pubg mobile version had Mahindra logo on them.
This thing is that basic truck/Jeep we wish someone would make but can't because of all the regulations. with very littles bells and whistles and no stiupid computers and electronics on it, no excessive plastic and all steel. It being a Uitility vehicle is a work around to get it street legal. You got to hand it to mahindra for have the balls to do this. For someone who hates new over priced, over engineered infotainment garbage trucks these days, this is an answer to our truck prayers.
Most reliable in any weather
Reliability in any weather is always a great thing to have! 😎 Thanks for watching Surendra!
Perfect!! Now only if it was street legal!!! High speed limit is awesome. But more important. Fuel mileage, long lasting. Dependable for years to come! Government should de-legislate the auto industry to be able to bring these back!
It really has long life because I have seen those of more than 30 years old and still ferry 15-16 people villages around India. I don’t know about mileage.
Roxor is a off road vehicle for work/play. It has a tractor engine. Modify it for more speed and you have a death trap.
And yet, if it were the 1980s, this would have been deemed street legal in a heartbeat.
as a indian i want to tell u people who are asking about reliability. mahindra is here popular for powerful and rugged suv and they provide it on low prices here. their engine can clock near about 4lakh kms.
all state's police use mahindra bolero as cheap nd reliable . we also have jeep here name compass but its not that reliable even they charge more..
Great info!
Vivid Racing anytym bro.. anything u want to knw
Armaan girdhar dude they don't understand the Indian number system. 4 lakhs is equivalent to 400k.
vineeth v kk bro
What is the final drive ratio? Most of the mahindras come with 3.73 , 4.27, 4.88, 5.38, 5.89. The new models all come with 3.73:1 which is nice for open flat roads only. A change to a lower ratio helps. Offroad too the vehicle surges on 4w low with the tall gearing on descents
Love mahindra love roxor
The mahindra 2.5ltr turbo will easily give you 105bhp and 247 nm of torque as it does on its bigger brother the mahindra thar. The thar also has an eaton mechanical auto diff lock on the rear axle. The thar is a far better car than the old willys or was it bantam motors ?
I would like to see if you can add a 540 rpm power takeoff, hydraulic pump with remotes, a tow bar, and a category 1 or 2 three point hitch. This should make an awesome small tractor for mowing, disking food plots and feeding livestock. Add some 7.50-16 deep lug tires and it's the bomb!
Very cool video thank you for posting and great work unleashing the true power of the Roxor I will be getting this upgrade very soon thanks agian
Thank you!
does re flashing the ECU affect long term reliability? I m guessing yes because of the higher rpm's and everything moving quicker hence wearing down faster. Any plans for a locker kit so you don't do 1 wheel burnouts? :)
No these are durable tractor diesel engines. No issues. At this power, its plenty safe. Higher than this we might see clutch issues. There are lockers available. Email utv@vividracing.com.
How were the egt’s after the tune since no boost was added?
A 2005 wrangler 4.0 inline 6 will barely do 80mph on the highway, because of the horrible aerodynamics. I doubt the roxor will hit 78mph with wind resistance.
Agreed
The Indian version of this same vehicle with the same engine hits around 75 mph (in a long time) but gets really hairy!
Agreed but will still do more than 45 mph. I would want the ability on the right road surface to go more than 45 but I wouldn't go too fast as it could become unstable at speed. That old school leaf sprung suspension is not very forgiving
You must've had a p.o.s. my 05 Rubicon would run 95-100 all day. My 87 xj would run 90mph and it had 300k mi on it with no rebuild.
Maybe at speeds over 45 bits and pieces start to fall off. That wouldn't surprise me one bit.
I want one. Great guy doing the vid! Excellent!
Music to my ears i.e. tune and diesel engine sound
🙌🏼🙌🏼 glad you loved it just as much as us
Would love to have one of these. The power seems very underwhelming for a 2.5l turbo. Can't wait more power mods then I might buy one.
It's sold in India with 105bhp and 240 odd NM of torque. Try getting that ECU
If someone is in India, I will buy the ECU and you ship it here :) Email me dan at vividracing dot com
Vivid Racing hope you get it
I think the 105bhp version is not this particular engine as used in the roxor. That must be the old Mahindra scorpio or Mahindra that engine also known as the NEF series engine. What the roxor has is I think the that di engine which was evolved from old international tractor engine and still used in commercial applications in mahindras lineup.
The power ratings you have achieved are the same as the stock thar di and similar speeds achieved in India. The engine though is a real workhorse and lugs around 3000kgs in most commercial pickups here. Right kgs not pounds. No mistake there
There are two engine variants in India. One gets exact same DI engine in roxor and generate exact same power and torque, but without speed limiting. Other gets a CRDe engine with above mentioned 105bhp and 240 NM torque. Most probably Thar DI's ECU alone won't increase the power.

Irrelevant to this particular video, but I would definitely strip it and bedline the entire frame and exterior, as well as the interior.
for looks or function?
Doing that is going to trap water and cause rust.
otm646
I have a lined floor and it hasn't caused rust in 15 years. If you don't prep it right liner can crap out with rust just like paint though.
On a frame it will get torn off on rocks, then moisture will get in through those scratches and work it's way underneath and rust out the frame
In the early 60’s a stock 4 cly Jeep would run 75mph/120kph on 16” wheels. Took a few minutes.
Richard A Chapman they were so slow that you could time them with a calendar. but once they got there they were a climbing son of a gun. my Dad had a 1943 Willy,s totally original
75? no..maybe 65 on a good day. 4000rpm redline and 5.38 gears on stock 6x16s, gets you 65mph. They WOULD do 75 if you opted to install a Warn or Saturn overdrive on the transfer case. But really, 81" wheelbase and 9" drum brakes, 50-55 is all they were really designed to do comfortably.
I want one! This tune would have to happen though.
THE POWER GOD'S SMILE and give approval!
Very interesting I have a NA diesel tractor from mahindra do you do ecu flashes for them also?
Yes can help you. email tuning at vividracing dot com
I like it. Smart, useful upgrade, but not to the extent that it’s going to turn the Roxor into a hand grenade. 70-odd mph sounds a little scary, given the pedestrian nature of the rest of the vehicle. This is not a performance side-by-side.
Also, I suspect that further development would have the usual cascade effect, where the cost escalates as you end up replacing smoked clutches, melted wastegates, broken axles, inadequate brakes, etc.
I think if you start getting into the turbo modification is where you will need to start treating this like a real car.
Steve Rolfe we plan on offering a clutch upgrade soon. I think driving this at 45-70mph is the same as driving a CJ. But I agree treating this like a full blown car is not the best idea. Much like a RZR, can take it out to the trails and have fun.
Say you buy a Jeep like most people, an fix it up, lift kit, tires an wheels, lights, locking rear an front lockers, an other stuff you'll end up with, maybe $10,000 or more in upgrades, bring the cost of a $27,000 Jeep to close to $37,000 or more, seen a lot of new Jeeps on dealer lots up to $50,000 or more for a Rubicon. You could put that $10,000 dollars on a Roxar, an have a off-road machine as good or better for less money than a "real" Jeep an have that retro look of a CJ.
Waiting for your new video ( Mahindra jeep ) ..simple and powerful stuff.
Lets do the math on expensive toys.....
Jeep Wrangler
Rubicon base model 40k
2.8L Cummins crate engine 9k
Labor to do engine swap plus transmission bolt up kit 10k
Warn 8000 winch + install 2k
KC LED 48 inch light bar + install 1k
Grand Total = 62000.00
Mahindra Roxor LE (Limited Edition) 19k
2.5 Liter diesel - stock
Warn 8000 winch - stock
KC LED 48 inch light bar - stock
Front and rear Lockers + install 5k
Windshield + install 1k
XTC turn signal kit + install 1k
Grand Total = 26000.00
So it's all the stuff actual Jeep people want. This is so much more Jeep than what FCA makes now. I bet this really pisses them off.
Good riddance! I would never buy anything from those Fiat crooks!
Mahindra💪I just love it
Love to see mahindra in us, keep rocking and give some more cars to US.
In india it's called thar. A proper covered jeep with big chassis.
What would you charge if I sent my ECU to you guys for this reflash? Please advise.
Greg Berger it’s in the description of the video but here it is again www.vividracing.com/tuned-ecu-flash-tune-mahindra-roxor-25l-turbo-diesel-p-152414222.html
Nice power gains! What RPM is it running in fifth gear at 55 mph? Next lift it by doing doing a spring over axle setup. Then if the gearing can be changed go up on the tire size.
We have no idea how reliable this is going to be and you tune it. Well now you know how much power she will put out.
fatboy19831 People have been beating the shit out of these in India for decades.
painmagnet1,
You can say the same for Peugeots in Africa over there they were excellent cars. In the states they were garbage.
Useful in Himalayan hilly terrains
Awesome that it's possible to make these road legal. Although for the cost involved it seems a bit pointless. Better to just buy an old used Jeep and fix it up a bit.
The jeep for spring break and summer vacation. Lol
awesome work guys
Thank you!
Now it just needs an emissions delete and a proper turbo running about 30 PSI in this thing will be crazy!
you know if jeep is throwing a tissy about people turning this into working daily drivers why dont they make a super basic cheap reliable jeep that they can then sell as an off road "only" vehicle?
The roxor would be great for a Philippine market
True 🙌🏼
Mahindra is "Toyota" of India
This is made in USA, not India FYI
Holden McGroin NOPE. FYI.
lilorbie lilorbie parts are made in India. Roxor assembled in the US
Ryan Boyce they are made in india first then took apart just enough to be called "truck parts". they do that to beat some of the import tariff,s. Toyota does the exact same thing in Texas.
While not entirely made in USA, they have a LOT of made in USA parts in them. So probably the engine and transmission are made in India. If you watch some of the factory tours they point out a lot of the USA parts. But is that any worse than buying a brand new Buick and finding out it was made in China? Or many GM cars that the engines are made in China.
You guys should check the thar 2020 it is a road legal version of roxor that is releasing in India 2020, looks a lot like wrangler from outside with modern tech n equipment on inside with less than half the price of Jeep Wrangler.
Will do! Sounds pretty cool 🙌🏼 glad to see an updated version come out
I just went and checked these out!!! Awesome
The only problem I see is it doesn’t have lockers front or rear and that will create a real problem off-road
True, that would definitely help
I really like the seats you put in
Thank you!
Not a legit car considering FCA just won the lawsuit filed against Mahindra North America and Mahindra being ordered to cease all sales and production of the Roxor in its current configuration and appearance. And they havent decided how many millions Mahindra will have to pay but its likely to be a bunch of millions
Is the exhaust manifold like a regular Jeeps manifold where they had the little baffles inside you can knock out and get more power out of it
if it has fly by wire ,pedal couldn't you add a Sprint Booster V3 or Pedal Commander to get the full potential of the 4 cylinder Diesel , i have the sprint booster on my 2018 4 gas engine2.7Ltr. in a Tacoma and man 168HP with 190Trq. it is quick no delay and if it keeps up with more faster v6's it should help the Roxor, i am looking to purchase a Roxor.
That should be about max. Much over those numbers and transmission and diff. Breakage will really start to be an issue. Like old 70s and 80s jeeps, a foot slipping off the clutch can break all kinds of expensive stuff. Add some 33 swampers and go tear the hell out of it. Im thinking vortec 4.3 swap
Pull the EGR and cat then tune again! Off road only= zero tail pipe emissions
Good thing side by sides are street legal in Montana😎
In order for this to be street legal in the US it would have to meet current EPA & DOT specs. which the cost would be prohibited. They are strictly for off road use. Long gone are the days when turn signals, back up lights & seat belts would conform to 1968 DOT regs.
Damn I wish you could plate these in texas. Would be an awesome around town runabout.
You can plate it with an out of state tag!
Reminds me alot of the CJ-5 and runs like the old willies jeep used in WW-2and about the same hp
You maybe able to import and tune the CRDE engine from the thar (105HP/240nm) or the mHAWK engine from the scorpio (120-140hp/280-320nm) from scraped vehicles. But this m2dicr is a work horse and can take serious punishment.
Hugh difference fantastic
Is there a gas eng option? We got dw to -45F a few times this winter. We had several wks of -25F to -43F. Gas can be more dependable here in Alaska.
This diesel 2.5 seem's alot like an international tractor or industrial motor with a turbo?.If that's the case it's a good one and will last a while.That electric fuel foot deal could be swapped out and a linkage installed .
Remember when Jeeps were made by AMC, I think those were the best ones. I'm not buying Fiats these days.
